MCCASKILL: I'm Claire McCaskill and I approve this message.

WOMAN (Rachel): Ten years ago, I was brutally raped in a home invasion. For me, taking control started with taking emergency contraception at the hospital. At the worst moment of her life, no woman should be denied that choice. What Todd Akin said was troubling enough, but it's what he believes that's worse. His policies would criminalize emergency contraception for women who are raped. That's what he would do with his vote in the Senate. What will you do with yours this November?
